The Real Story

Tax office workers receive calculators as Christmas bonus.

After only being able to calculate up until 2013 using bean counters and their fingers, the new bonus promises to help them get up to speed abd hopefully be able to get the right calculations, instead of just sending out random predictions and “guesses” to how much tax people owe.

Management welcomed the move and had decided that this was a good investment that not only saved money on paying the 13th month bonus, it would also save time and money in the long run.

“With the money we save, hopefully we can shave off some of the old wood who were just employed because they are local,” said a spokesman.
